"Additive manufacturing (AM) is a process of building parts by progressively adding thin layers of materials, sometimes layers thinner than a human hair. Computers play a central role in AM because the printing process is guided by a model. Imagine a computer slicing a three-dimensional object into many parallel thin slices, figuring out how to print each slice one after the other, and then having a mechanism to combine each layer with those previously deposited. Parts are made with metals, ceramics, polymers, and composite materials. There are many types of additive manufacturing. The type of material printed, its size, cost competitiveness, and other part attributes all influence the choice."--
